Schleich 2014 (List with pictures, and colours)

i like the dinosaurs but they would be much greater when they use the same colours just like PAPO so they would like be more realistic

I don't think the colors are necessarily bad, we don't know what they looked like back then, they may have been neon blue and electric yellow for all we know. I don't think the color scheme is bad, they probably just did bright colors to appeal to kids senses. I would probably have picked the bright green T rex over a natural olive green one, but of course now (meaning anywhere after age 7  ) I would have picked the natural colored one. I like the Papo dinos best because they remind me of Jurassic Park and I like that movie.  

Finally, the therizinosaurus is not bad and I like it. The other figures are bad for me. 
I think PAPO will made a therizinosaurus this year because the last year, schleich published a carnotaur and papo, a carnotaur. The therizinosaurus is not bad but I prefer to see the real figure.

is very similar to the first one with moveable jaw, which is the same as this new one. Unless I am wrong, which I probably am, because I don't know much about dinosaurs!

From what I tell, the 2012 model has a shorter tail and smaller feet then this new one.

Schleich dinosaurs used to be dull and brown almost like Papos. Though in reality we never know what colors dinosaur really are unless there feathered, in which case we can use new technology to see the pigments and compare them to modern birds. BTW Schleich makes really terrible Dinosaurs in terms of accuracy, there raptors should be completely covered in feathers, as should the Thirzinosaurus. Papo has the same problem with there dinosaurs, but they don't claim scientific authenticity like Schleich does which gives them an excuse.


Out of all the Dinosaurs Schleich is making next year. The one that's most accurate is the Pentaceratops. The Raptor needs feathers all over its body instead of on its arms, and the Wrists are broken (They should look like the dinosaur could Clap its hands instead of slapping)

The T_REx has the same issues as there previous version, only different (see above)

While the Thirzino is too skinny, and ther not enough Feathers(as said above), also The Wrists are broken on it as well.

Maybe the T-Rex is a female and she waits for a male mating with her, so kiddies can play"Let's make a Dinosaur"?

Never seen so horrible ugly looking dinosaur models-Schleich has done another"great"Job.

I LOVE them with plenty of colours, like exotic birds  
Or zebras. Or giraffes. Or lots of reptiles nowadays.....why would they be grey or dark green ?  

As far as I remember, a few colours have actually been determined, - and they weren't booring green or grey

I agree with you Susanne, I only meant to use the word "natural" as a term for more quiet/earthy colors, I didn't mean for it to refer to it being more probable that they were darker colors. I rather like bright colors myself, it makes them more fun in my opinion. 

@Takama, I also know that many dinos are supposed to have feathers now. However, I don't know much about dinosaur anatomy or accuracy so I was only referring to their colors not their actual make up, and I would never claim to know that. I only meant in terms of color scheme that I don't really mind the bright colors, it makes them a little more fun to me.

Sorry I like to speak up about them from time to time.    On a side note, the Thirzinosaur might have a posable Jaw, and by the looks of the photo, it may evean have moveable arms too.

Oh please don't be sorry. I hope I didn't come off as angry, I was only explaining what I meant in the earlier post when I realized I spoke a little ambiguously. I actually like to hear opinions about the dino models because then I learn more about them than I did before.
I didn't notice the possible moveable joints, that would be pretty cool for a kid, especially on a dino that has some serious claws.  Thanks for correcting me anyway, it keeps me straight.  

don't worry You did not sound Angry to me.

For some easier sculpt studying

Thanks Alienmantis, that's very helpful!

HI what is the first horse pictured just above? The adult? where is that from? i love the sculpting and how comes they are unpainted? Are these Schleich horses?

I believe the first one is the '14 Fjord stallion.

There's also this one (same source):

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

It seems to be Fjord stallion, Shetland foal and Trakehner foal. They're probably unpainted models "stolen" from the Chinese Schleich factory by some worker :)
I have to say I like Trakehner foal the best of these three - it looks a lot better than on promo photos! I don't like Shetland and Fjord so much

Yes , - and what a beautyful model  

The little foal is lovely also. Those two can make me forgive Schleich for a lot of over-cute stuff    

Thankyou very much, dear Alien

PS, about why they are unpainted : Some emplyee on the factury has stolen them from the waste-bin

My thoughts too

I like them all well enough, the foal looks a little different than the company pic, but that's probably because of the angle.

I would rather have the old whitetail family, these look way to fake, they almost look happy. I'm very disappointed that there are no new cattle but the buffalo does look nice. I really don't like the horns they are putting on their new cattle though, they look like tree branches sticking out of those poor creatures heads. Great looking sheep and pot-bellied pig though!  

Exactly my thoughts!!! I have been around cattle all of my life and NOT ONE has had grooved horns. They are always smooth.

I´ve now readed on the first page, that the Bat is actually is a Flying Fox..is this confirmed or only speculation?

I think that the buffalo has grooved horns because sometimes during the fighting season when they fight they can get scars and chips on the horns. However, since it is a growing tissue on real animals, they probably shouldn't have grooved the horns.
